Test mode about librato-metrics HOT 4 CLOSED

@lucasmartins Great. If you are only sending metrics in your tests there actually is a test mode already although it isn't currently documented. You can just set your classes up to use the test persistor and metrics will be written to memory instead of being sent to Librato.

Here's an example of how we use that internally.

Alternately if you want to stub other requests since we're using faraday under the hood you should be able to use the faraday stub support.

You can assign a default faraday adapter for use with Librato::Metrics.faraday_adapter= or specify it per client object. I haven't actually used this for stub support yet but it should either work or be a pretty trivial code change to get it working.

All of that said we definitely welcome improvements in any form. A PR to improve testability or improve documentation around how the library works for testing would be great!

Just wanted to follow back up on this. Any further thoughts?

Sorry, I've lost myself at the notification page.

The test persistor looks perfect for my case, I've overridden some Librato methods for the time being, but I'm looking forward to chage my code to use this.

Thanks a lot for the reply, when I change my code I'll write something for the Wiki.

Cheers!

Great, sounds good!
